The sorting is set to score to favor the posts that get the most traction, and GitLab doesn't appear to allow sorting Markdown tables. However, there is a CSV version, so it can easily be opened in something like Excel. The inclusion o

Great catch - there's certainly some false-positives, due to me only using keywords from the title. When I catch them, I add the id of the post to "hn_exclude". This happens the most for China, as China gets posted about quit

This would be a tu quoque fallacy, and when speaking of "Russia vs America", you can also call it whataboutism [1]. America's invasion of Iraq was bad, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine is bad, but only one is happenin

On one hand, I've been happy with the amount of footage available from the frontline via TikTok. On the other hand, the way a lot of these videos are overlayed with some corny rap song or an epic orchestral piece over images of death a

One benefit of physical media that I don't see mentioned here: if you like underground music, the rarity of the CD/Vinyl can cause it to greatly appreciate in value over time. It's a great reward for dedicated fans who are wi

This article got me thinking: is there anything intrinsically wrong with money-laundering? Or is it something we all decided was okay for a state to police without a clear moral basis, like prostitution? Is it only illegal because the money

> All those proposed uses are better served by databases I've often wondered how NFT's would fare in a situation like Diablo 3's colossal failure of a marketplace, where people could sell their rare items to other players.

I've been a web developer for just over a decade now. Lately, I've been rather amused at how much more elementary my websites are today compared to, say, 5 years ago. I went through all the MVW frameworks, the gulp builds, the MEA

Fair enough, but I often wonder if this new arrangement in the availability of quality information will cause any problems for the lower class. A lot of political rhetoric does gear itself towards the poor, after all.

You're likely not going to like this, but you agreeing with their reasoning for bottle-necking a resource does not make it any less problematic that they have the power to do so.
557.
by z3c0 5y ago
If that's the case, then I stand corrected, but it does not change my point that a single company being able to bottleneck a resource is problematic.

by z3c0 5y ago
I agree with you overall - this does appear to be another resource curse - but I want to point out that the culprits in this matter are the companies that bottleneck the overly-abundant resources for profit (so Nvidia and Google), not the u

They closed out their last broadcast with footage of "Swan Lake"[1]. That in of itself was a pretty strong statement, as they were alluding to the fall of the Soviet Union, when Swan Lake played for days during the coup attempt on

Violent agreement, as they say. I've been noticing this more and more lately, and it makes me curious as to whether there's any research into the psychology behind contradictions.

Follow the trail to the source. Oftentimes, all the major news outlets will cite the same source for an event, but lace the story with their biases in the process. Usually, that single source will only have so much information themselves, s

Strange to think that the caricature is quickly dying. It was a crux of political cartoons throughout all of the 1900's, and also a common form of street art.

It will take time. Upsetting technologies attract conartists like flies to honey. Critics will deliberately conflate the cons with the rest until then, as it's a very convenient argument (though obviously fallacious.)

And that parent was using Nazis to disclaim the US as evil. The US doesn't just get off the hook because they haven't resorted to genocide.

It's the premise of Brave New World . It tells of a society subjugated through genetic-engineering and hedonistic entertainment. I think a quick dose of happiness is pretty akin to "soma", a drug the characters use to avoid

I think you knew what they meant. Changing the wording doesn't change their point, so you're nitpicking semantics.

I think peoples' willingness to be subjugated makes it easier to see the parallels between Huxley and Bradbury's worlds and our own, but I don't think they nailed the "Post-Truth" ethos quite as well as 1984 did. It
